Three volumes, all hard cover with DJ. These are reprints of books published in 1897-1910 by Walter E. Roth. These were reissued in Perth, Western Australia in 1984. Very rare. I cannot find any reference to them online, although there are recent soft cover reprints of some of the material from these volumes.

Volume I ( 1897 ) - ISBN 0859050548 - Ethnological Studies Among the North-West-Central Queensland Aborigines by Walter E. Roth ; 199 pages with numerous plates, some in color. hard cover with DJ. Excellent condition

Roth, A collection of 8 Bulletins each with a specialized topic on Aboriginal technology and culture ( language, implements, games, food, etc. ) Many illustrations, hard cover with DJ. Excellent condition with rough edges on DJ from handling ( very minor ).

1897, 1901 - 1907-1910

These books are heavily illustrated and filled with an incredible amount of material about the Aboriginal culture and technology in Queensland between 1897 and 1910. Very rare. and difficult to find in any condition. These books are in almost new condition with only light fading of the DJs from aging. I used these volumes as reference material while studying Aboriginal artifacts from this region. Very nice!
